Fourteen people have been arrested in connection to an extensive investigation into a fraud ring worth $10 million, York police said on Wednesday.
York Regional Police said 145 charges have been laid against 14 suspects in connection to some $10 million worth of money laundering, document forgery and banking and passport fraud dating back to July.
York police said the investigation, conducted by their Major Crimes Unit, Canada Border Services Agency and the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, included five search warrants.
Police seized a motor vehicle, pontoon boat and $50,000 in cash in the investigation, as well as foreign passports, Ontario driver's licences, government stamps and equipment used to forge documents.
Police say they will release more details and display some of the seized equipment at a press conference in Aurora, Ont., on Thursday.
